The ASA polymers, belonging to the styrenic family, are plastic materials widely used for their exceptional mechanical properties.
Acrylonitrile-Styrene-Acrylate (ASA): the combination of these three components provides a material with high impact resistance, similar to ABS, but with improved UV resistance.
